Half Life 2: Episode 2 display issue with HUD

Hi All

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue? (I added the white arrow)

Only happens on HL2, ep2. ep1 and HL2 are fine. Any and all suggestions welcome

I've had that before with the HUD, and also another where the ammo count was only half visible.

I changed my resolution ingame and that fixed it for me, restart before as well.

tried that, didn't work I'm afraid.

I had that and this helped.

Cool. Did you reinstall the GUI, and if so, how did you do it?

I think that's only if you have a custom GUI. Try doing the reset to defaults bit, that might help.

just tried it, no joy, thanks though.

It normally worked for me.

Okay, I've tried switch resolutions, turning the HUD on and off with the developers console, the slowhacking fix, updated my display drivers - is there anything else I should be trying?

I've had similar and changing the aspect ratio and resolution simultaneously was all that seemed to work. Still hit and miss though.

I tried, still no joy. I might play on, and hope it is only the torch that is messed up and not the ammo counter as well.

I'm a bit stuck on EP2, defending the base against Stryder/Hunters. I can destroy the Stryders easily enough, but when 3 arrive I run out of ammo. Are there any "unlimited" ammo crates around? You need to destory the hunters as they protect the Stryder against the mine attacks.

it's a valve game, its suppose to have hidden features.

I dont think so badbod, just rocket ammo creates for the rpg.

Are you using a crack? If so it's that.
I believe it can be fixed by playing @ 1024x768.
